There is one kitchen appliance that is by far the most basic. The easiest to use. When it just doesn’t bother you, a holy grail. And no, I’m not talking about deep fryers. Because there is equipment that makes separating the tea much easier.
Obviously, microwave. However, as reliable as they are, it turns out that apparently many people have been using the device incorrectly.

Prepare to be blown away. TikTok users shared the ‘microwave trick’ to heat their meals evenly, which received many views.
“You know when you reheat food in the microwave and some parts are hot enough to burn your mouth and the other part is frozen?” said content creator ‘onlyjayus’ in a previous video.
Okay, that’s a little dramatic, but it’s common for us to take our korma out of the store after the ping and discover that not everything is the same temperature everywhere.
How to use the microwave correctly
The TikToker goes on to say, “Well, that happens because you shouldn’t have food in the middle of the plate here.”
As they go, they slide the container to the side of the microwave plate: “It needs to be on the edge so it can rotate and cook evenly.”
Makenzie Bryson Jackson, a food scientist, agrees. She explained to Well + Good that “uncontrolled heating” causes uneven cooking, as hot spots “will heat up significantly faster once they start to heat up.”
What has changed in microwave design over time?
According to Jackson, most new microwaves are designed with the plate rotating so that the waves bounce off more evenly, and then placing the food on the edge ensures that it is heated as evenly as possible.
I mean, she says it won’t make a huge difference, but it will help “slightly” balance the heat. She then demonstrated how to find different hot spots in the microwave by stacking marshmallows on a plate and cooking them for 50 seconds.
“The puffers show where the microwave hot spots are so you can place food in those areas to heat it up faster,” he went on to say.
Naturally, people wish they had learned about these things sooner. “I feel like you should have told us this about 20 years ago!” commented one TikTok user.
Another person said: “I spent much of my life carefully lining it up exactly in the center.”
Unfortunately for you, you now know.
